A comfortable stay in a historic building with the luxury of a pool
Pros:

Staff overall were really friendly and helpful and always ready to meet our needs, the bed was comfortable and breakfast, though self service, was kept replenished with hot items hot and fresh. I enjoyed being able to have a swim in the spa pool, having the Ramblewood on site to get an evening meal and having nice biscuits in our room to have with our post meal cuppa.

Cons:

More information would have been helpful on our arrival e.g. the location of towels for the spa in a cupboard in our room, times and location of breakfast. We had stayed in the hotel previously so did know where to find things like the breakfast room and spa but would have preferred to have been reminded of these details.

Would have preferred better quality cups/mugs at breakfast and not to have to reject a hot plate as there was egg residue on it - little details like this jarred a little with the attentiveness of staff which felt 4*

Pleasant but disappointing
Pros:

The location was brilliant. Good parking & room was very large with good additional touches. Excellent selection at breakfast.

Cons:

Booked specifically for the spa. Several attempts made to contact the spa via phone & email to book treatments and find out opening times. Arrived to be told
No children after 6pm in the pool - very disappointed children who had been looking forward to the use of the pool. No mention of restrictions upon booking or on confirmation.

WOULD GO AGAIN
Pros:

Breakfast was great. Wonderful choice of food. Lovely staff.

Cons:

Needed curtains on the window with the blind in Room 19. Sun was blinding between the slats first thing. Not fussy on showers over baths though! Not very agile.
